Floating image with no text wrap

By default, floating an image causes the surrounding text to wrap around it, such in in the below example:

A
safari park is a large nature reserve intended for safari tours and encounters with rare wildlife. They are common in
Africa, but many exist elsewhere, including popular parks in England. People who wish to see animals in their natural state will love a trip to the safari.

However, sometimes you may want a different effect whereby the image floats, yet the surrounding content do NOT wrap around the image. This can be accomplished through the familiar "float" attribute, combined with "margins", while taking into account IE'6 dreadful "3px text-jog bug". The result is:

A safari park is a large nature reserve intended for safari tours
and encounters with rare wildlife. They are common in Africa, but many exist elsewhere, including popular parks in England. People who wish to see animals in their natural state will love a trip to the safari.

I'm trying to do this in DotNetNuke in the Text/HTML module. I enter the style inline but still no floating effect. I'm trying to get a horizontal floating effect but the text just skips the entire div section. ahhh!
